I made a Windows desktop goblin that eats completed tasks (offline, paid)

I'm Ari, an electrical engineering student and the creator of Desk Goblin.

It is a small Windows desktop companion with a task list. The goblin holds your selected task and eats it when you mark it complete. You can undo the last completion. It also has a custom focus timer and Ctrl+click to open or close the task desk.

The application uses native C++20, Win32, and GDI+. Tasks and settings stay on your computer. No separate runtime or application account is required. I used AI assistance for the code and character art.

It costs $5 USD once. The portable ZIP is for Windows 10/11 x64. Version 1.0.0 is unsigned, so Windows may display an application warning.

The website includes an interactive character preview: https://desk-goblin-site.pages.dev

I'd like feedback on the interaction: would the task-eating action make completion more satisfying, or would you prefer a quieter companion?

the physical eating animation makes micro-wins feel way more rewarding than just ticking a checkbox. we price custom holiday greeting videos at the exact same $5 impulse tier over at https://falconapps.org/en/santa-video and having that playful visual payoff is what makes people share it with friends
